Stoked to catch up with Greg Closier, a downwind foiling pioneer, foilboard designer and participant in the first ever week long SUP downwind foiling event organised by the French Surfing Federation.

I enjoyed discussing board design with Greg, unpacking some of the runs he has downwind foiled both in Brest, France, and LA, USA, and what conditions he is looking for and what equipment he uses depending on ocean or bay runs. Towards the end we go into how the event played out, what he learnt from the experience and ways to improve it for next time.

All in all I really enjoyed catching up with Greg and look forward to joining him on some of the downwind runs we discussed and hopefully compete in some events with him down the track.

If you'd like to learn how to downwind foil I'd love to hear from you and help you undertake your journey. Get in touch via email [email protected] or head to my website www.caseyaus.com and check out the Coach Casey Club for basic and premium options. I'll be releasing a free demo version of my online modules soon so keep an eye on that if you want a bit more insight into what the Coach Casey Club really is and how it works.

New episode due every fortnight so stay tuned for that.
